In this Nov. 16, 2007, file photo, the emergency entrance at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago is seen. A Maryland man died from a transplanted, rabies-infected kidney from a donor who wasn’t known to have the disease.

In a story March 16 about the death of a transplant recipient from a rabies-infected liver, The Associated Press, relying on information from a federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spokeswoman, reported an incorrect statistic regarding human-to-human transmission of rabies by biting. The only documented instance was in Ethiopia, not the United States, the CDC says.
